[Intl-stu] Congratulations to August 2006 Graduates

[International Students]

SUBJECT: Congratulations to August 2006 graduates

 

Congratulations on your graduation and best wishes in your future career.

 

Now that you are no longer in Commerce, please remember to use the Online
Services available for you at The International Student web site
http://www.tamu-commerce.edu/international/
<http://www.tamu-commerce.edu/international/> 

 

You can easily access our web site from the university home page and click
on "current student"  then click on
<http://www.tamu-commerce.edu/international/> International Student Services
then click on "Online Services" on the top, right hand corner of the page
and submit your messages to me.

 

You can use our online services to report your change of address and update
your F-1 status if there are any changes.

Remember that it is required by laws for F-1 students to report the change
of address within 10 days of the change directly to the ISS so that we can
update your SEVIS record for you.

You should also report your new address in the school record by yourself
through MyLeo. 

Reporting change of address in MyLeo by yourself does not update your SEVIS
record, so you have to do both.

 

Students who graduated on August 12, 2006 have 60 days grace period and
there are 3 options for you.

1.	If you had applied for OPT employment by the deadline, you can stay
in the US in legal status and wait for your OPT card. You can begin your
employment only when the card is in your hand, you cannot work before you
receive the OPT card.
2.	If you want to remain in the US and maintain your full time F-1
status, you must be accepted to a new degree and begin your Fall 06 full
time enrollment by August 28, 2006. If you want to transfer to other school,
the transfer in SEVIS must be completed before August 28, 2006. You must
directly contact me as soon as possible if this is your option. Failure to
be transferred in SEVIS by August 28 will put your F-1 status at risk.
3.	If you decided to leave the US and return to your home country,
please send me a message stating your departure date (must be within 60 days
grace period) so I can close out your SEVIS record with no violations.

 

 

Again, Congratulations, good luck, and keep in touch.
